“He was no good guy, but it was terribly indiscreet to whack him out that way.”

I think that it went down like it did to send a message. The Saudi royals swatted a fly with extreme prejudice and let people know that they did it. I think this Islamicist puke got what was coming to him but, that being said, I believe the world would be a lot better off with Mecca and Medina being green-glassed and ever Saudi Royal put on a pike à la Vlad Dracul.
